After a narrow escape from the house of Hades, the crew of Argo II have to reach the Parthenon before the feast of Spes or game over. Gaia wins!
The characters which must undertake this challenge are Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, Jason Grace: son of Jupiter, Leo Vandelez: son of Hephaestus, Frank Zahang: son of Mars, Annabeth Chase: daughter of Athena, Piper Mclean: daughter of Aphrodite, Hazel: daughter of Pluto, Nico Di Angelo: son of Hades, Riana: Daughter of Bellona and Couch Hedge: the satyr.
Going from a Greek ghost island to an underground giants cave, then to the home of the twin archers and finally going to the god of the doctors before reaching the Parthenon, the seven of them have a huge journey before them. And the best news is, one of them is going to die.
Meanwhile, a mysterious hunter is pursuing shadow travelling across Europe with the Athena Pantheons, Riana, Couch Hedge and Nico. Will they be killed or will they survive to reach camp half-blood before the Greeks and the Romans tear each other apart?
I like the way Rick Riordan has made this a third person book, changing the view to a new person's perspective every few chapters. This is a thrilling finale to the wonderful series of Greek and Roman books. I recommend this book to people who like wild, witty stories, with a touch of romance and drama. Read the terrifyingly good book, Heroes Of Olympus: Blood Of Olympus.
